not able to install MAAS from snap on ppc64le
Metadata
Current evaluation
MAAS snap installs segfault on ppc64le in older and stable releases because of libsnapcraft-preload; 3.3/edge installs successfully, but stable-channel resolution remains unconfirmed.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a reproducible architecture-specific installation blocker: multiple users reported hook segfaults, and maintainer diagnosis identified libsnapcraft-preload.so with a minimal LD_PRELOAD reproducer. MAAS 3.3/edge revision 25371 installed successfully, but there is no evidence that affected stable releases or the underlying packaging issue are fixed, so the issue should remain open for current-channel verification.

Issue body
I'm not able to install MAAS from snap on ppc64le machines.
I've Tried with Ubuntu Bionic and Focal:
First, upgrading snapd:
`Unpacking snapd (2.45.1+18.04) over (2.42.1+18.04)`
```
$ sudo snap install maas
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run install hook of "maas" snap if present (run hook "install": /snap/maas/7809/meta/hooks/install: line 61: 22535 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$SNAP/bin/maas-wrapper" migrate --configure)
```
```
ubuntu@wichita:~$ snap list
